This chapter describes the MOS paper tape output module which can be selected with the ‘-Fpap’ option.
This module was written in 2024 by Dimitri Theulings and is covered by the vasm copyright without modifications.
Enforce strict compliance with MOS paper tape format. In particular, in strict mode six NULL characters (ASCII 0x00) are appended after the carriage return (ASCII 0x0D) and line feed (ASCII 0x0A) for each record. Additionally the file is terminated with XOFF (ASCII 0x13).
Set the number of data bytes per record. Defaults to 24.
Set the start address for the default section, when no
section or org directive was given.
This module outputs the contents of all sections in MOS Paper Tape format,
which is a simple ASCII output of hexadecimal digits. Each record starts
with ’;’ followed by a single byte indicating number of data bytes
contained in the record (by default 24). The record’s starting address
high (1 byte, 2 characters), starting address low (1 byte, 2 characters),
and data (n bytes, 2n characters) follow. Each record
is terminated by the record’s check-sum (2 bytes, 4 characters), a carriage
return (ASCII 0x0D), line feed (ASCII 0x0A). The final record does not
contain data bytes and instead lists the number of records, followed by a
checksum.
In ‘strict’ mode, each record is followed by six NULL characters (ASCII 0x00) and the file is terminated with XOFF (ASCII 0x13).
There are currently no known problems.
This module may return the following error messages:
